Avoiding Fees
There are no monthly fees for this account. I couldn’t find a fee schedule, so I’m unsure if there is an early account termination fee.
Our Verdict
Way way too many requirements for a $100 bonus, this is really ridiculous. There are plenty of bonuses out there with higher bonuses and less requirements, so this one is a big dud. Only way it would be useful is if you could fund a huge amount with a credit card. If anybody has any experiences, share in the comments.
